This seems pretty backwards in the age of AI, where semantic search can ingest and numerically sort embeddings with extraordinary finesse.

U2F would be a much superior replacement for any idea in which the user has to enter anything at all. It’s better to have the security hardware, such as a U2F key, authenticate the authenticator using cryptography, because that process cann

My experience leading an older startup is that category two is hard to escape whether or not you’re working in person. It has more to do with the “Innovator’s Dilemma” - once a company has found product market fit and is generating profits,

Nuclear plants are complex, bespoke machines. This is the first new reactor complex in 40 years! It’s ludicrous to expect it would somehow be built on time and under budget. If we can somehow start building several plants per year, then a s

A decent walkthrough of the paper is here: https://youtu.be/Dt_UNg7Mchg I’m surprised this hasn’t received more comments. Orca is an important result. An 11B-parameter model has reached near-parity with a 175B-parameter mod

The magic that everyone needs is a combination of a) heat recovery ventilation (HRV) and b) heat pumps. An HRV system passes filtered air through a heat exchanger from the inside to the outside and vice versa. The air passes through a heat

His interviews with SBF over the years are worth reviewing. You can tell he was always a skeptic…

This is version 1.0. I imagine down the road there will be larger batteries and greater power efficiency. But for desk workers using AR goggles for “laptop work,” you’re usually near a power outlet anyway.

Absolutely. 1Password is betting heavily on being the passkey clearing house for enterprise. I think what Apple is doing here is saying that companies like 1Password can do this for their flavor of WebAuthn too.

If it doesn’t blow me away, I won’t do it. But I think it will blow me away. Apple rarely disappoints on the experience by the time they launch something, in my experience anyhow.

The first iPhone was pretty crappy. No apps. 2G only. Poor battery life. Limited global distribution - not even Canada could get it. But it captivated people who didn’t own it yet, and it proved out some essential ideas like multitouch. An

I will buy it for my entire team just for the video conferencing - assuming it is actually as good as promised, of course. Anything beyond that is gravy.

This is a smart move by Apple. Authentication infrastructure is necessarily cross platform. It doesn’t generate revenue for Apple, but the lack of cross platform auth would limit enterprise adoption of Apple products.

It looks as though it can replace a laptop. Unlike the iPad, assuming the display really delivers on text fidelity, it may be a more comfortable working environment than the old paradigm. If that’s the case, the effective cost falls conside

Engineering is the application of science; as the science here is weak at best, calling it engineering seems a stretch. Perhaps “prompt author” would be more appropriate.

In engineering school in the 1990s, a Taiwanese student in our school would order all the books in Taiwan and then their mom would ship a huge box to us in Canada. It costs 50% less than buying the same books in Canada. Textbooks are a rack

In my experience, AutoGPT is limited primarily by the poor state of its tools. For instance, browsing web pages often does not return relevant text that a human would pick out of the same page content. GPT-4 makes very good plans of what it

Rogers is owned by the Rogers. Obviously they also now own Shaw, which is a disgrace of failed competition regulation. Corus Entertainment is owned by the Shaws (along with Shaw Cable, which is now Rogers). They run YTV, HGTV, TÉLÉTOON, etc

This is a fair comment. I ought to have clarified that I was indeed making a gross generalization. I share your perspective on the creative arts; I don’t care where it comes from, if it’s good.

The perspective of Canada is useful here. Canada is culturally dominated by the US, with a 10x larger population only an hour’s drive from the majority of the Canadian population. Canadians are generally supportive of some level of governme

I spent a few wonderful days there in 1999 at a UAV competition. The site is epic. So many warning signs and weird concrete bunkers dotted across the landscape. It’s frankly amazing that there hasn’t been MORE cancer…

Losing close to $4B per year, it’s safe to say they are already giving away the hardware.

MailChannels CEO here. Would you pay something to get access to webhooks for delivery notifications and click-tracking? We have it; it's just not exposed.
